The Punch Bowl in Bristol, City of

We went there for my birthday and it was our first time. The staff were absolutely wonderful and very attentive. I was given a special cocktail for my birthday, which was gorgeous. We ordered curry goat and Jerk Lamb. Both meals were served piping hot and were both tasty and authentic. We cannot wait to visit again.

Habíamos visto este café desde un autobús mientras iba de camino a un partido de fútbol por la noche, debido a la época del año estaba iluminado y parecía muy acogedor. Mi compañera dijo que le gustaría visitarlo por su cumpleaños. Reservamos el almuerzo y aunque llegamos temprano, subestimando lo cerca que está del centro de la ciudad, el propietario estaba muy contento de sentarse con nosotros. Este lugar se luce como un café. Aunque pequeño hay asientos para unas 20 cubiertas en el interior, con buen tiempo más dos mesas en el exterior. La decoración es como cabría esperar con una pared dedicada a los cócteles en oferta, más de eso más tarde. Los alimentos se cocinan por encargo y son de excelente calidad. Mi pareja y yo somos vegetarianos y elegimos de la lista de veganos. Mi esposa tenía 'Ropa Vieja' yo tenía 'Potage de frijoles', ambos platos vienen con arroz y verduras fritas de plátanos y yuca. Escogimos dos cócteles, uno Mojito y yo tomamos un Daiquiri de mango. Elegimos terminar la comida con dos cafés cubanos muy buenos. Un gran lugar para comer, si va por la noche mejor reservar.

All the great reviews are totally deserved. The food is fantastic and the cocktails as good as anywhere. Shout out to V :) this is the best pound for pound place to eat and drink. Bristol absolutely rocks. Came up from a London for the weekend and will be back

Myself and my family have eaten in pretty much every Caribbean restaurant in Bristol (Caribbean Croft, Rice n Things, Biblos, Bikkle Island, Turtle Bay, Glen’s Kitchen, Vybz’s, Chef Watson and a few more). This was our first time ordering at Mamma P’s and we were a little nervous. We ordered 2 large Curry Goat, 2 large brown stewed chicken, 2 plantain, 4 fried dumplings, coleslaw, cornmeal porridge. It was a £42 order so we spent quite a bit of money here. - Negative Having had our order accepted via Just Eat, I was surprised to get a phone call from the restaurant to advise that they had run out of brown stewed chicken, so could only fulfil one order. To be fair they did offer us an alternative, but as they had also run out of Jerk Chicken, the only other chicken they could offer us was fried. I agreed for this to be substituted, but only as there was no other option. i wish they would keep their online menu updated so this wouldn’t happen. - Positives The food portions were a good size, the food was warm and tasted amazing. Will definately eat here again, hopefully next time they will be able to fulfil our order in it’s entirety. This is the only reason why i am not giving them 5/5 this time.

Stunning, authentic food with a fabulous host - I couldn't recommend enough!
